Tasting notes

Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, April 2025 98

The 2006 Comtes de Champagne is in a great spot. Baked apple tart, spice, chamomile, marzipan, slate and chalk confer tremendous vibrancy and power throughout. Bright saline notes play off the natural exuberance of the year. The 2006 was spectacular on release. It is all that today, too. (Drink between 2025-2046)

Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (60), October 2015 94

In much the same fashion as the ’06 Rosé this is aromatically quite restrained with notably cool and elegant aromas that speak of citrus, floral, yeast and green apple nuances. The wonderfully refined mouth feel is enhanced by the beautifully fine effervescence that shapes the medium weight flavors that culminate in crisp, intense and gorgeously complex and persistent finish. This is not only a terrific effort but it’s an amazingly good 2006 as there are no exotic hints plus it offers exceptionally good verve. While this could certainly be enjoyed now I would be inclined to hold it for at least another 3 years and 5 will probably be the sweet spot. Drink 2018+.

Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, November 2013 19

“Disgorged April 2013 for this tasting. Very lively bead indeed. Very sumptuous nose seems eerily close to fine white Côte d'Or burgundy. Still tight and very glamorous. Really classy and explosive. Hugely promising. There is delicacy and charm here. Drink 2015 – 2025.”

John Gilman, View From the Cellar, March 2023 97

The 2006 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne is an absolutely stunning wine and probably one of the two or three greatest wines from this outstanding vintage. When the wine is first poured, it is beautifully floral in personality on the nose, with scents of apple blossoms and white lilies, but over time, the floral aspects begin to play a supporting role to the gorgeous fruit tones of Meyer lemon, pear, hazelnut, sourdough bread, chalky minerality, caraway seed and orange zest. As the bottle starts to work towards the bottom gentle notes of buttery oak also start to feature on the nose. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and seamlessly balanced, with a rock solid core of fruit, marvelous soil undertow, bright acids, elegant mousse and a very, very long, complex finish. This is simply stunning. 2023-2050+.

Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate (237), June 2018 96

Tasted almost two years after disgorgement, the 2006 Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs shows a beautiful golden-citrus color and opens with a fascinating intense, floral, slightly reductive nose that develops enormously in the glass, offering lemon and lemon confit aromas along with flinty notes of crushed chalk and the iodine flavors of the Atlantic Ocean. This is an utterly complex and promising bouquet! The palate is terribly fresh but also rich, lush and intense, with the purity of the finest wines of the Côte de Blancs, the concentration of perfectly ripe Chardonnay and the suppleness of 2006. This has impeccable balance paired with high tension. The wine is very tight and still seems to be on its way right now. Although there is a first hint of aromatic ripeness, this should be a great Comtes de Champagne in a couple of years. The finish is tensioned, concentrated and mineral but keeps its talents in an almost bursting bubble. Drink 2020-2034.

Steve Pritchard, Inside Burgundy, December 2022 96

This wine feels like an old friend, having drunk dozens of bottles over the past few years. In the UK, a famous high-street supermarket decided to delist this wine and offer some extraordinary discounts. For myself and other savvy enthusiasts, this was a unique opportunity to study the wine, the vintage, and the differences between subsequent disgorgements on a grand and affordable scale. Early examples were delightfully restrained and even austere (2006 is a ripe vintage; though it is perceived as a "low acid" year, the combination of ripe tartaric acidity and high natural ABV gives the wine structure and precision). In the interim, the pear-like fruit has gained a layer of succulent, stone-fruit creaminess, though the aspect remains intense, fresh, and youthful. A long, mineral finish completes the experience. Evolving at a snail's pace, this is genuinely a brilliant effort from Taittinger and possibly wine of the vintage! Drink from 2023-2038. Tasted: 15-Jun-23.
